Joe Ryan-Vice President, Climate & Strategic Initiatives
As Vice President for Climate and Strategic Initiatives, Joe Ryan will lead Audubon's newly implemented climate initiative. Ryan and his team will work closely with the policy office and leaders in the Audubon network to address the issues related to conservation in the face of climate change. Ryan's experience in building out large conservation plans and his extensive background working internationally will guide Audubon as it begins to extend its conservation work across the hemisphere.
Ryan comes to Audubon from ClimateWorks, where he was Vice President for Latin America and Oil Campaign Director. While there, Ryan led a consortium of international foundations to design strategies and create a regional initiative for mitigating carbon emissions in Mexico and Brazil, and he managed a grant portfolio of $15 million per year to support strategic improvements in clean transportation across the US, Europe, China, India, Mexico and Brazil. Prior to this, Ryan served as environmental program officer at the Hewlett Foundation for 11 years. Ryan is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and knows enough Mandarin to get into trouble.

(14.9%; $38) An extremely ripe nose of chocolate and spiced plum combines with exceptionally rich and concentrated medium full fleshy flavors underpinned by suave tannins and a delicious if moderately warm finish. This actually is nicely balanced despite the substantial alcohol and while it's not subtle, those who enjoy very ripe pinot will find much to like here.
Drink Dates: 2008+Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Darkly opaque in color. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cocoa, clove and mint, showing additional polished cranberry and creamy pie spice nuances after the wine is in the glass for 20 minutes. Deep and intense on the palate with black cherry, cocoa dust, blueberry, licorice and cola. Exquisite purity and length with smooth acidity, showing a bit of sassafras and orange zest on the finish.

"First of all, my husband's grill wasn't working, so I had to bake these in the oven. They have been baking at 300 degrees since 2:30 this afternoon. It is now 6:30 and they are still not "fall of the bone tender". Also, I didn't like the orange zest flavor. It just didn't taste right to me. Maybe it's because I'm from Texas and we're not used""

A bird lover's photoblog
Icterus galbula | ORDER: PASSERIFORMES | FAMILY: ICTERIDAE
On this last day of summer we say goodbye to our migrating friends, the Baltimore Oriole, (though I think they left a couple of weeks ago.) It was great to have them build their nest right above our outdoor sitting area so I got a lot of wonderful photos of both parents feeding their young big juicy green worms! See more photos of them both on the homepage slideshow.
The past few summers have been fun with them too. Here is a male Baltimore Oriole taking a bath.

Ardea alba | ORDER: PELECANIFORMES | FAMILY: ARDEIDAE
It is so exciting to have caught so many wonderful photos of this Great Egret on the Grand River, south of the Shotwell Bridge! Check out the 3 other photos in the homepage slideshow.
Phalacrocorax auritus | ORDER: SULIFORMES | FAMILY: PHALACROCORACIDAE
We were on another pontoon ride on the Grand River with our friends and saw this very unusual bird, a juvenile Double-crested Cormorant. We weren't sure what it was at first but knew it was something very different! Adult Cormorants are almost black in color. From the book National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Birds of North America the juvenile Cormorants "...vary in coloration below, from very dark blackish brown to almost white." See two more photos in the homepage slideshow.
Archilochus colubris | ORDER: APODIFORMES | FAMILY: TROCHILIDAE
A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird has been making daily visits to the Zinnias (new to the garden) and the Russian Sage plant. If we had known she'd like the Zinnias so much we would have planted them a long time ago.
Pandion haliaetus | ORDER: ACCIPITRIFORMES | FAMILY: PANDIONIDAE
We were on a pontoon ride on the Grand River with our dear friends and were all blessed to see (and I photographed) so many wonderful birds, Green Herons, Belted Kingfishers and these beautiful Osprey. We hadn't noticed it until after I downloaded the photos ... do you see the fish in the left Osprey's talons? (Also see slides 3 and 4 on the homepage.)
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology "Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them..."

Japanese retails are currently preparing for the launch of the PS Vita, which is set to be released tomorrow, several months before the US and UK get their hands on the exciting new handheld. But as gamers and press begin to get copies of the games, they're noticing that something is... missing. It's the instruction manuals - apparently, while they're still being included in the game itself in digital form, they're not being included inside boxed copies of the game.
Above: The box looks pretty barren for us
Andriasang is reporting that the paperwork to the left of the image above isn't actual a manual, but a single sheet of paper showing warning messages. You know, the stuff that says "don't shove the system in your mouth" and "if you have seizures, please don't play this game."
If you want to find out about the controls, see the credits, or... read whatever it is developers typically put in the manual... you need to view the digital version within the game. This isn't all that surprising. This past generation has seen shrinking manuals as a trend, both because of developers trying to save money, and gamers caring less about the packet of paper included in their videogame boxes, and more about the content of the games themselves.
So, what about you? Sad to see them go, or are you fine with saving a few trees?

I planted Allium Beau Regard and Globemaster in Autumn 2004. These are my first Alliums and so I'm not sure what to expect as far as flower size.
They have come up fine and have perfect shaped full flowers, but they are only about 6" diameter. I thought they were supposed to reach 8-10". Do the flower heads get larger in subsequent years? Do you leave the bulbs in the ground after flowering or are they left in permanently? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My Globemaster has reached 7" tops in diameter. I just leave my bulbs in the ground year round. Cheryl |
- Posted by pitimpinai z5 Chicago (My Page) on Sat, Jun 4, 05 at 18:11
Last year my largest Globemasters were about 7", this year, they are about 4". They have multiplied, though. The new ones planted last fall are only about 6". I leave mine in the ground year round. |
- Posted by Globemaster Denmark (My Page) on Fri, Nov 4, 05 at 15:54
If you are leaving the bulbs in the ground, the alliums get crowed as they multiply - just like the case of tulips. Furthermore Alliums do not like moisture. Therefore I dug up mine 1 month after they are deadheaded. |
Mine did get smaller after the first year but there were multiples. Every year I think I'll dig them up and divide them but I never have. |

In global climate change fight, what can we learn from Kyoto?
(Read article summary)Nations across the world continue to grapple with how to address climate change, and there have been some tough lessons learned since the Kyoto Protocol, first adopted in 1997. David Shorr, a program officer at the Stanley Foundation, talks about the future of climate treaties in an interview with OilPrice.com.
Oded Balilty/AP/File
The climate challenge drives home the interdependent realities of the 21st Century, and there have been some tough lessons learned since Kyoto. All of this ties in to energy issues that shape domestic politics and complex geopolitical realities.
To help us look into these issues and more we spoke with David Shorr. David is a program officer at the Stanley Foundation, though the views expressed are his own. He blogs at Democracy Arsenal and can be followed on Twitter @David_Shorr
In an exclusive interview with Oilprice.com, Shorr discusses:
• Why a binding climate treaty poses problems
• What we've learned since Kyoto
• Why climate change financing is a key issue
• Why climate change is a geopolitical issue
• How Iran fits into the energy equation
• Why the US is stuck over Syria
• Why Afghanistan was the biggest recent US policy blunder
Interview by James Stafford of Oilprice.com
James Stafford: Can you take us through the international response to climate change and some of the positive and negative effects of a legally binding Kyoto follow-on treaty?
David Shorr: The bottom line for climate change, and thus for any international agreement, is reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. How can levels of pollutants be cut to avoid the worst effects of climate change? Like many problems in our interconnected world, it's a matter of spurring nations to act on behalf of the common good -- to bear in mind not just national self-interests but also shared interests in averting climatic disruptions that would be bad for everyone.

Internationally acclaimed classical guitarist Xuefei Yang to perform Feb. 14
January 31, 2008
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. ? Classical guitarist and young virtuoso Xuefei Yang will perform at the Middlebury College Kevin P. Mahaney '84 Center for the Arts Concert Hall on Thursday, Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m. Her program will include selections from Bach, Tarrega, Goff, Paganini, Barrios and Brouwer.
Yang was the first guitarist in China to enter a music school and graduate from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing with a bachelor's degree, and the first guitarist from her country to study classical guitar in the west.
Born in Beijing, she began playing the guitar at age seven and soon after made her debut appearance at the First China International Guitar Festival. She gained immediate acclaim and, during her school years, she played extensively throughout China, Hong Kong, Macau, Spain and Australia and gave concert tours in Taiwan, Japan and Portugal.
When playing in Tokyo, she was given a special award by the Guitar Alliance of Japan, and Masaru Kohno, the celebrated Japanese master craftsman of stringed instruments, presented her with one of his concert guitars. The composer Rodrigo attended her debut concert in Madrid when she was fourteen and in 1995, when John Williams came to Beijing, he was so impressed with her playing that he gave two of his own Smallman guitars to the conservatory for her and other top students to play.
Yang has lived in England since 2000 and studied with Michael Lewin, John Mills and Timothy Walker at the Royal Academy of Music. She won the Dorothy Grinstead Prize and received the Principal's Prize for exceptional all-round studentship. She was also awarded the highest performance award conferred by the Royal Academy.
More recently, she has given concerts throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and North America at such prestigious venues as Wigmore Hall in London, the Philharmonie Berlin, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and Lincoln Center in New York. In 2003 she performed 54 concerts for the "Night of the Proms" tour in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany for an estimated total audience of over 800,000.
According to a reviewer at the New York Times in 2007, "Ms. Yang demonstrates her feisty virtuosity, impeccable technique and sensitive musicianship in repertory ranging from Albeniz to arrangements of Western pop and Asian songs." A critic at Classic FM Magazine said, "Her technique is flawless, but as well as being an impeccable technician, she also displays great feeling for the music."
Her second recording, titled "Si Ji" and inspired by music from her homeland, was released in 2005, and she consequently signed an exclusive international contract with EMI Classics and released "Romance de Amor" in April 2006 to rave reviews. She has appeared on numerous radio and television broadcasts, including BBC radio's "Woman's Hour," and China Central Television recently featured her in a biographical documentary for their classical musician series.
The performance is sponsored by the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series. The Middlebury College Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall is located on South Main Street (Route 30). Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for seniors. For tickets, contact the Middlebury College Box Office at 802-443-6433 or www.middlebury.edu/arts.

Mister Six
: Restored the bit Lale cut about
Truth in Television
: Well,
A) It's
true. I'll give you "many," even "most" girls, but not all- this girl, for one.
B) Media portrayal of "bad boys" is hardly entirely realistic.
Mister Six
: Just so everyone's aware, this is the line, with my emphasis: "
In a way
, this is
Truth in Television
women find confidence attractive, and those men who don't really care about anyone other than themselves have confidence in spades."
Note that it doesn't comment on the realism of the media portrayal of bad guys, nor does it say
women agree on this one point. Lale's primary objection here appears to be a misreading, not an objection with what is actually written.
All it's doing is pointing out is that there is a root for the belief that women like 'bad boys', and that's because most of them like someone who is actually confident about himself (and Lale, seriously - you don't find confident men attractive? You only find
men attractive?). Restoring it
, please don't take it out a third time.
: If you must know, I prefer the intellectual, creative type. Confident IMO is good — rebellious/criminal/troubled, no. Confidence is in no way connected to motorcycles and leather-jackets. I'm also offended by the assumption that girls' tastes are so simple and uniform while
All Guys Want Cheerleaders
says the
about guys'. What qualifies anyone to make that assumption anyway?
Mister Six
: As I have made clear in previous points, the line only talks about
, not about leather or bikers or whatever it is that's upsetting you. In any case, I've added a second sentence to make this more explicit.
Additonally, there's a marked difference between uniform desires in terms of
(the aforementioned leather jackets, or the cheerleaders' big breasts and fake tans) and uniformity of desire in certain basic traits, in this case
, which is generally regarded as a good first step for anyone looking to make themselves active on the dating scene. Not the use of the word 'generally'.
I'm sure there are plenty of women that like it when a man can't get through a sentence without stumbling over his words, has trouble meeting new people and is generally introverted. But as far as I know - and housemates of mine did dull studies about this for their sociology courses, so for a time I knew far more than I could ever possibly
to - the majority of women find self-confidence to be one of the fundamental (though not neccessarily vital) aspects of their 'ideal man'.
Lale: sounds like all guys think its
Truth in Television
. Still don't get the "confidence" connection. "Only
Troubled, but Cute
aren't wimps" seems a stretch.
Mister Six
: Yes, it is, but it's a stretch that
made, not me. I certainly never said anything about anyone being
. If all you can contribute to this discussion is (preumably wilfull) misreadings of what I've written then we might as well stop right here, before you drive me to fire up
All Women Are Irrational
Why not?
: I'm
-cutting the
Truth in Television
line. Just because a trope is related to something that happens in reality doesn't mean it's TiT.
trope comes from
that actually happened once.
Licky Lindsay
: I just thought of an example here, that might actually have some bearing on this debate about the "confidence in spades" thing. I hope you people all watched
Gilmore Girls
. Think about the season or so when Rory had to choose between Dean and Jess. Jess was quite obviously supposed to be the "bad boy" of the two. The writers made damn sure you knew that. But Dean was not necessarily less confident, or less social. Or less liked by fans of the show. I'm not suggesting that
Gilmore Girls
is necessarily closer to reality than
Seventh Heaven
Happy Days
, just that even
on TV
things are more complicated than that.
: So, A) "most girls want confident guys"- true.
B) "All girls want bad boys"- cannot be proven by A.
Morgan Wick
: And even in Hollywood, not all confident guys are bad boys.
Fast Eddie
: yup. Generalizations will get you in trouble, generally. There is also a class of men who are attracted to rebellious, "spunky" girls/women who have a bit of a go-to-hell attitude. As in the
Gilmore Girls
example Licky gave, it is about the rebellion, all other things being sorta equal. I imagine that for Rory there was a bit of "life just
be this Norman Rockwell all the time, there has to be
more exciting going on." Side note: Dean was definitely not in Rory's intellectual weight class, as well, or as well as Jess was, anyway. That was likely a factor.
Actually, when I think about it a bit,
teenage boy who is
just a little pissed off at the world probably isn't very bright. ;P
Mister Six
: Okay, so cut it. I just want to repeat for the... fifth? Sixth? Time that I never said that all (or even many) girls specficially want bad boys, just that there is a truth there that the core of a bad boy's character is based around an element of personality that most women find attractive, ie: confidence. This is the root of the "all women like bastards" misonception and therefore at the heart of the "all women like bad boys" rule. This does not rule out confidence existing in other, non-bad boys, nor does it mean that women do not find non-bad boys attractive or even that they would neccessarily choose a bad boy over a nice guy.
Doug: Confidence is only a(major) factor, but in real life I would call this "Most Women want Alphas" and male "aphas," in their teens and twenties, are prone to ignoring rules and using violence. Plus Alphas go through women like kleenex and are very visible about doing so. Therefore it is no surprise that this trope developed.
Fast Eddie
: Chill, Mr Six. Nobody is attacking your entry. It is just generating some discussion. I think "confidence" isn't quite being as key in defining what makes a boy "bad", though. Some other (or additional) factor seems to be at work.
Mister Six
: It wasn't anger so much as weary frustration. As for the other factor, aren't bad boys in TV usually given a drunken, abusive or absent father figure? See the movie
, the comic
Crossing Midnight
or any other number of shows.
: Well, yeah,
Mister Six
. I'm just saying, there is a kernel of truth in it, but the details have gotten so warped that you can't really call it "true".
Ikkin: The question of what defines a "bad boy" is probably more complicated than it needs to be due to the fact that there are a couple of wildly-different types that share the name: - A variation on the
Jerk Jock
type, who actually does tend to meet the criteria (outwardly, at least) of rebellion, confidence, and alpha-ness. Generally the version of "bad" used by guys who claim that they always lose to "bad boys." - An
, darkly-attired guy with a
Dark and Troubled Past
(or a dark and troubled present) and all the issues that entails. They often meet
of the attraction criteria that real life "bad boys" have, and can even be as romantically awkward as the
Dogged Nice Guy
though significantly less stalkerish and more inclined to avoid starting relationships.
The latter type is often attractive for different reasons - sympathy rather than coolness - though, ironically, characters of the second type tend to be transformed into the first without explanation by the
Fan Dumb
Might it be a good idea to split these two types off in the main page, to give a better description of what's really going on? I'm thinking the first type would be best described as an "Alpha" bad boy, while the latter would be a "Loner" bad boy, to use the usual wolf parallel.
: Lol at the Tamers reference. All Girls Want Bad Girls?
Violet Strange
: Removed from the Real Life section:
I'm sorry, but when the girls in question are under 20 its 100%
Truth in Television
. Among a few examples from my life: one of my best friends and an otherwise intelligent, talented, well-adjusted person (not to mention bloody gorgeous) was so drawn to badboys that she dated a string of abusive drug dealers. In fact, in my experiences,ask just about any teenage girl of the artsy individualist variety and they'll admit being drawn to badboys.
Because the "100%" is blatantly false and fairly offensive. If the original editor wants to cut that part and rephrase the rest of it in a way that doesn't insult the entire, rather large, segment of women that doesn't like "bad boys" and didn't even when they
"under 20", feel free.
Some Guy
This entry
Manipulative Bastard
has always bugged me (because it honestly doesn't seem
manipulative). I think it would be much better served on this page instead. Any thoughts?
Doctor Nemesis
: Removed:
In Paul Robinson's
Instrument of God
, Supervisor 246 is world-famous for being terrific in bed, such that thousands of women want the opportunity. And, to be fair, once a month, 246 offers it to them. (He's dead; in the afterlife of the story, men can have sex repeatedly.) The rest of the time he restricts himself to one or two women a day.
Because it doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with the trope at all. Is Supervisor 246 a particularly 'bad' person?
Doctor Nemesis
: I think we're going to have to set up a
Troper Tales
link for much of the 'Real Life' section; I think we'd be better served on this page if we just had a note saying that it's heavily contested whether it is or it isn't
Ti T
and let people go to
Troper Tales
if they really want to continue the discussion.
Doctor Nemesis
: And it's done.
Doctor Nemesis
: I've altered this example:
Pride and Prejudice
The Stoic
, aloof, socially-inept
Mr. Darcy stands in contrast to his
Marty Stu
Heterosexual Life Partner
Mr. Bingley. The heroine falls for the former and thinks the latter is a weak coward.
Because Bingley is never a serious contender for the heroine's affections; Bingley is always attracted to the heroine's sister, who reciprocates his love. Also, the heroine likes Bingley and considers him a decent man (except for a period where it seems, inadvertently on his part, that he's been playing with the affections of her sister). Furthermore, it completely ignores the rather more obvious playing with this trope in the form of Darcy (nice guy who comes off as a bad boy) and Wickham (bad boy who comes off as a nice guy).
: No, but the author obviously finds Darcy more interesting than Bingley since she gives him the A Romance Plot (I've heard theories of
Author Appeal
), and while Elizabeth claims that she wouldn't marry Darcy if he were the last man on Earth, it's obvious she was
attracted to him
. Elizabeth's criticism of Bingley has nothing to do with a
Love Triangle
but an explanation of
All Girls Want Bad Boys
. Not a subversion as much as a meta example.
Doctor Nemesis
: True, but Darcy isn't really a Bad Boy as I understand the trope to be describing one; and in any case, whilst Elizabeth might be attracted to Darcy, she's clearly a bit more into Wickham when she thinks that he's a decent guy. That's part of the point of the novel, surely - Elizabeth even points out that Darcy has all the goodness and Wickham has all the appearance of it. Granted, it might not be a subversion - now I think about it, the Bingley issue has some merit - but it's not exactly the trope, either.
Furiko Maru
: Whoa... what is
The Castle of Cagliostro
doing on here? This
Miyazaki!Lupin we're talking about, right? The guy who's nothing but patient and considerate towards the heroine throughout the entire film and even
refuses to ruin Clarisse's life by taking her with him at the end
, which is more than can be said for
Loveable Rogue
romantic leads (
, I'm looking in your direction)? Heck, he won't even kiss her on the lips (because
he's a responsible adult
)! Also, since when are Bad Boys this well-adjusted? Was there a memo I didn't get? 'Cause IIRC, they're meant to be deeply disturbed at worst and stoic at best, aren't they?
Sorry if that was too indignant, but I have a
vested interest
, here. Criminal acts do not a badboy make, at least not in fiction. You want a
Lupin III
badboy? Try Jigen or Goemon.
Doctor Nemesis
: Okay, I've been wondering this for a while, now but... who exactly
that in the picture? And what does he have to do with this trope? Would it be possible to at least have a caption to contextualize him as to why he belongs here? After all, for the uninitiated in the fandom he stems from, he could be anyone. Failing that, might it be possible to replace that picture with one that might be a bit more widely recognised?
Doctor Nemesis
: I've removed the picture because, really, without any sort of context it's just some guy in black. I'm not opposed to it being put back up, but it really needs some context, IMHO.
Sabre Justice
: Is there an inverse for this? Guys can want bad girls too y'know.
This Troper
: I think it's this but inverted, in an obv different way than
Single Woman Seeks Good Man
This Troper
: Can somebody clarify what this article is actually about? Is it about the mysterious quiet types, whom I dunno why girls are attracted to, or the "asshole" type of guys who women are attracted to because they punish the girl's bad behavior and thus preserve their value in the relationship? There's quite a difference between the two imo.
Doctor Nemesis
: Moved this here for archival reasons, because really it's getting a bit out of control on the page.
This trope is based on a highly contentious
that essentially states that 'chicks dig jerks', and are automatically
abusive assholes
jerkass bullies
and the
Troubled, but Cute
over the
Dogged Nice Guy
who would treat them right. Essentially, there are two basic positions on this assertion, with your position on each seemingly to depend largely on your gender, your personality, your individual experiences and, as a more cruel troper might observe, your success rate with members of the opposite sex:
Those who agree with the assertion, citing
anecdotal evidence
of girls who stick with abusive, mean assholes and provide numerous reasons;
Alpha Males are Attractive: Various studies prove that women
be just as superficial as men.
The Early Bird Gets the Worm: Bad Boys, even less attractive ones, are more likely to initiate encounters with girls than the shy nice guys.
Nice Guys Don't Kiss and Tell: When Bad Boys engage in adulterous short-term relationships, they
; people hear about them more often than more stable relationships.
Nice Guys Are Boring: Some girls crave drama and that won't happen with a nice guy.
Girls Just Want To Have Fun: Girls can be just as willing to engage in one-night-stands or no-strings-attached meaningless sex as much as the Bad Boys, who are also much more likely to be concerned with keeping emotion out of the relationship.
Girls Want Fixer-Uppers: Essentially, being bad implies that the boy is 'broken' in some way and, so the theory goes, girls like the challenge of 'fixing' or 'healing' him with her love. Not being broken, the well-adjusted nice guy presents no challenge, and thus no interest.
People Want What they Can't Have: Similarly, while nice guys tend to dote on girls, Bad Boys tend to treat them as expendible, and so seem more of a challenge.
Bad Boys Make Girls Feel Special: If a guy is a jerk to everyone else except the girl, then (in the mind of the girl at least) clearly there's something special about the girl that provokes this treatment. The nice guy who is nice to her and to everyone else consequently makes the girl feel less special, since he
treats her the same way as he treats everyone else
. This one, of course, depends on how frequently and sincerely the 'bad boy' treats the girl right.
Women Marry Up: Nice guys act subordinate, while Bad Boys are domineering, while and women are naturally and/or traditionally submissive.
Bad Boys Are "Deep": This ones tends to play on the assumption (flawed or otherwise) that
angst is 'deeper'
good cheer
; Bad Boys with issues are seen as having more 'substance' than Nice Guys without them.
Those who disagree with the assertion, and provide personal
anecdotal evidence
Bad Boys
: They really can't get dates, but talk the talk so well everyone buys it. However, while this may occasionally be the case, experiential evidence accrued by many Nice Guys can put the lie to this one on a general level.
Some "Nice" Guys Aren't Actually So Nice: Many who complain about this trope aren't as nice as they think they are.
Girls Aren't Psychic: They date the attractive guy until they realize that he's a jerk and
dump him.
Not every
Dogged Nice Guy
is Meek: Many girls in happy relationships with stable, decent guys say there were other nice guys who just couldn't work up the courage to
Nice Guys Are In Short Supply: Every decent guy is either
Happily Married
or gay: Most girls
want nice guys and the market is simply oversaturated.
Sour Grapes: the 'nice' guy is just jealous of the guys who are in relationships with girls they'd like to be with, and use this trope as a convenient ego-soothing crutch.
Niceness Is Default: essentially, being polite, respectful and nice to a girl isn't something you should do largely or solely in expectation of sex as a 'reward', and isn't in itself
of sex as a reward; it should be the general standard for how you treat women (and people generally) to begin with. Men who just act 'nice' to get romance / sex aren't actually being nice; they're misrepresenting themselves and their intentions.
Someone who is being nice to get sex isn't being nice. This is true. However, Niceness Is Default works both ways. Since the truly nice guy is nice to the other people too, he isn't really treatin the woman he's interested in in a special manner. If the guy is nice to everybody, then the niceness doesn't make her feel special. What's the solution most people come up with? Stop being a Nice Guy. It's not the ONLY working solution, but it's by far the easiest to pull off.
If the first solution you come up with when being nice doesn't attract a girl you're interested in is to stop being nice in general, chances are good that you weren't actually that nice to begin with.
Nice Guys Are Myopic: they're so insecure and / or hung up on on the girls who don't notice / aren't interested in them that they don't actually notice the girls right in front of them who
available and / or interested in them.
Nice Guys Can Get Girls: There are plenty of women in relationships with genuinely nice men, so someone somewhere must be doing something right.
There's also a third position that states that it's not quite as simple as Girls Do / Don't Want Bad Boys, exemplified by arguments such as:
Girls Want Confidence: the key uniting factor between people in relationships is that they have have actually had the courage to approach the other person and make their interest known. The problem is not that
All Girls Want Bad Boys
or that
Nice Guys Finish Last
, but one of confidence; if the
Dogged Nice Guys
doesn't have the confidence to actually ask the girl out, then of course
Nice Guys Finish Last
— they aren't even in the competition to begin with. Hence, what girls really like is confidence which, naturally, rebellious "
Bad Boys
" possess more of than meek, shy nice guys. By this rule, girls
(in general, not necessarily unanimously) want nice,
Messed Up
Girls Want Bad Boys: a sort of half-way point between all of them, which suggests that the girls that the Bad Boys mostly get also tend to have plenty of issues themselves, usually of the low self-esteem type. The well-adjusted women tend to go for similarly well-adjusted men.
The Rescuer Role: It's not just the girls falling for the bad guys that's the problem; note how in many of these cases the Nice Guy seems to be distinctly attracted to the kind of girl who herself is attracted to abusive assholes. According to the idea of the
Drama Triangle
, they may be playing the Rescuer role out of a need to be seen to be rescuing the girl from a bad situation. Note that the article asserts that this role is not necessarily or entirely benevolent...
Umm, no. While that's the role they end up playing, it's usually the guy truly being nice, and offering the woman emotional intimacy and comfort freely, at a time where she's really not in the mood for sexual intimacy (because she was hurt by someone she was sexually intimate with). The woman freely accepts it, then when she's in the mood for more physical things, goes off to the next Bad Boy, spurning the Nice Guy once again, because he's now firmly planted in
Just Friends
territory. Yet he keeps on trying because he's nice. Eventually some of them snap and stop being Nice Guys. Sometimes it even gets them the girl, and they live
Happily Ever After
, but usually they end up with someone else.
With some, certainly; but the point of that article is that some of the 'nice' guys aren't actually that nice to begin with, and they're 'rescuing' the girl not because they genuinely care about her, but because they get off on being the Knight In Shining Armour.
This entire article (as do a good deal of articles on TT, for that matter) sounds like it was written by an incredibly bitter "Nice Guy" whose mouthbreathing obsession over a female friend went shockingly unreciprocated. Can the people writing these articles please actually interact with a real, live woman before making ridiculous assumptions and generalizations?
: I've replaced the picture of Charles Manson with one of James Dean and Natalie Wood. Manson is so far from meeting the definition of "Bad Boy" as to not be an example. And far from "all girls want him; a very few are attracted to him but most would probably run in terror.

What Do You Do With A Bad Kisser?
His Take: It seems to me like a bad sign for a relationship to start with kissing lessons. Shouldn't you be ravishing each other? The tutorials aren't supposed to come until much later, 20 years from now, when you and the wife break down and order one of those Improve Your Married Sex Life! DVDs. For all of our rationalizing about compatibility, about what makes an "amazing" woman, about what we should or shouldn't feel, there's something to be said for basic chemistry, for losing yourself completely, for falling in love (or at least lust) with abandon. That said, if you think you can improve this woman's technique with a tip or two (and without completely humiliating her), go for it.

Every time I tell them this, I have to have someone drive me an hour to L&D and they check my cervix and dismiss them as false contractions. But then at my next appointments, they tell me that if I am having more than 6 Braxton Hicks in an hour to call them. It's just a continuous cycle. I'm not sure if I should keep telling them about them and making the drive to the hospital to sit there for a few hours and then to be dismissed. Not to mention, I don't want them to keep checking my cervix. They have told me that they are concerned that I won't make it to 37 weeks but they haven't really given me any reasons why. It concerns me that they would even say that but there has to be reasons why, right? When I ask, they just say that I have a big baby. It really doesn't make sense to me at all. Should I wait to call them again until I actually feel like there is something wrong? Does this post even make sense? lol

Great things happen in Chicago, despite what anybody else says. Toodalu is one of those great things. Founded by three friends that met in (dare I say) Chicago's thriving tech scene, Todd O'Hara, Ravi Singh and Chris Lubinski, they set out to provide another mobile startup that caters to the reward/engagement/loyalty space but they've hit something on the head with greatness, and that is CASH IS KING.
With the new Toodalu app when you shop at a participating merchant you get 5% cash back on your credit card and another 5% donated to charity. Which charity? Whichever one you want. We know that Target lets you donate to a ton of charities but with Toodalu you don't need to have your charity on a list, it just needs to be a real charity.
"The user can choose ANY non-profit to give to! That's the key element that excites our users and merchants. In addition, a user can select up to one hundred different charitable organizations to support and select how, exactly, they wish to distribute the giving by allocating percentages." O'Hara told us in an interview.
Not only is Toodalu of epic greatness because they've already figured out the reward and the charity but it's simple. We got a chance to catch up with O'Hara, who by the way Trevor was up at 10pm answering questions for us, way past the 5pm Pando curfew. The first thing we wanted to know is how did you stumble upon such a great idea:
Toodalu is a new breed of loyalty rewards. Just link any credit or debit card to your Toodalu account and when you use that card any partner location, 5% of every purchase is donated to the charity of your choice. We are proud to help charities raise boat loads of money while attaching purpose to the purchases of our users. The idea was born from the question,"how can we increase participation rates for charitable giving?"
More after the break
Toodalu isn't the only startup of epic greatness in the house music capital of the world. (all the startups we write about are great) however they have been chosen to participate in the beta launch of the brand new, State endorsed 1871 tech center, so I asked O'Hara what it was like to get chosen in the pre-1st class for 1871?
Being selected to join the 1871 community was a huge honor. And, to be selected to take part in the 4 week beta testing of the space was an even greater honor. We're really excited to see how the community leverages the connections and feeds off of the positive energy to cultivate great businesses.
O'Hara tells us that, while Toodalu is his first startup it's been two years in the making and it's taken a pivot (great things do take time)
"I started Toodalu as a completely different company two and a half years ago. We made a great pivot and kept all of our investors on board and I couldn't be happier about what we have built."
Now if you've been reading Nibletz for a while you know we ask everyone about the challenges of starting up "outside the valley" this question is especially important for those in Chicago:
"A startup is challenging no matter where you are. Startups outside the valley
And what's next on your plate?
"The ideas never stop flowing, we have a slew of great features we'll be adding this summer. I am most excited about a new feature where our user will be able to fund raise for an individual cause. An an example of this may be someone who uses Toodalu to fund raise for the Chicago Marathon. Traditionally this person might ask friends or co-workers for a donation via a check. We are trying to give fundraisers an easier option where they can raise money by asking friends or co-works to join Toodalu and simply grab a meal at one of our partner locations. We think it could be a powerful tool."

Americans twice as likely to believe news organizations than social media
Associated Press | American Press Institute
No matter how old they are, people surveyed for a new study by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute were "more than twice as likely to express high levels of trust about what they learn directly from a news organization (43 percent say they trust it mostly or completely) as they are to trust what they discovered through social media."
15 percent of those who get news through social media "say they have high levels of trust in information they get from that means of discovery," the study says. 13 percent of people under 30 said social was their preferred source for news. 3 percent of all other age groups said the same thing.
The study has lots of other interesting findings about news consumption, among them that people change their behavior depending on what the news is. Read more

Curious, trying to figure how far from the sink window trim should the cabinet start.Currently I have about an inch on one side and the other side butts up to the trim(looking to change cabinets). Not sure if I like the way it looks. What do others have? Do you like the way it looks? Pictures? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine is about 3-4 inches. That way the color of the painted walls shows and provides contrast. The tile back splash goes right up to the trim and abuts it. I'm pleased with the way it looks. |
- Posted by francoise47 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 12:34
I've seen many beautiful kitchens on GW in which the cabinets butt directly against the trim. In others, there is a full six plus inches for a more "unfitted" look. (This is what I plan to do.) Do you want to see some paint or tile between your cabinet and window? I think that three inches is a nice compromise width to show a little "air" between the window and cabinet. Three inches is probably what Christopher Peacock himself did in his own kitchen posted here: |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 12:49
I would either have it touch or far enough away that it is reasonable to paint or apply backsplash material there if you wish. With a larger format tile design it may make sense to have six inches or more so you are not installing slivers. |
Mine are nine inches away on either side. I questioned if they should be closer, but I'm happy I didn't move them any closer. It keeps that area (my sink is under the window) open and airy. Check the kitchen update II for pictures. |
Since styles and personal preferences in window treatments vary over the years, you might want to consider clearance needs for various styles you wouldn't use today. |
I think it depends on the size of the wall and cabinets. And of course what you like. Here are some ideas... |
- Posted by tigergirl123 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 20:07
We have a 48" window (plus trim) and we had the cabinets butt right up to the trim. But in our case we only had 6-8" to work with on one side, so we chose to have wine racks (wood, same as cabinets) installed on both sides. I think it looks nice, and otherwise I think I would have felt it was a waste of space if we left it open. And the wine cabs are not as "solid" looking as a regular cabinet w/doors. Since there's not too much room above the window (and we have a valance and crown moulding w/ the cabinets) we plan on putting the same tile up there as our backsplash. |

It's a tale of two action movies. The first: "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." While filming recently, Tom Cruise repelled down the tallest skyscraper in Dubai, making his way from the 113 to the 112th floor. That's him in the photo on the right, dangling about 2,000 feet off the ground. "I want to entertain the audience and part of making these movies is doing my own stunts," Tom said. "I love having the camera right there in front of me, where you can see me holding a shot all the way through." [Daily Record]
Now let's contrast this with Shia LaBeouf, who filmed a scene in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" on Monday. To capture a similar scene, Shia slid down a slide made to look like the windows of a skyscraper. [NY Daily News]
The honest truth is that most celebs don't do their own stunts because (a) they're wimps (b) they're sane or (b) it costs so much to insure them that it's out of the question for most productions. But in Tom's honor, here's a look at other celebrities who aren't scared of hurting their million-dollar bods.

Great article as usual gal. "Wow, I don't know who wrote this top 100 recently, but he sure loves his drunk food and and sandwiches!" Ps.. I think you left your jacket ;) -Monica D
If Garrett seems almost stubbornly committed to making the neighborhood food park work, it's because she's had a business there for more than 20 years. She and her brother Craig own Klassic Hardwood Floors, a reclamation and repurposing business across the street from the food park. Garrett says the food park lot was vacant for as long as she can remember, so it wasn't hard for her to convince the landlord to let her do something with the property. The next step was convincing the city that she could make use of the grassy lot under the overpass. Now she just needs to use those persuasive skills to get trucks and customers to the happening new spot.
On a recent Thursday evening, Midtown Mobile Cuisine welcomed Sticky's Chicken, Soul Cat Cuisine, Flip 'n Patties and Raw Chef Renee Vegan. The DJ, Steez, has already set up, and Soul Cat's Robert Stokes is deep in conversation with Craig about hosting a wings competition. The crowds haven't come yet, but Garrett remains positive that they will.
"Of everything I've been through, this is the hardest, because you're relying not only on your own work but other people as well," Garrett says. "My brother Craig and I are so used to working hard and seeing it pay off. But with this, you just kind of have to wait. We just have to hang in there. It's coming."
Season's Eating
Summer Food Bucket List
Eat your way through Houston this summer.
Molly Dunn
Summer is a time to relax, enjoy the weather and eat really good food. Thank goodness we live in a city bursting with opportunities to satisfy our adventurous cravings.
We have listed ten food-centric tasks for you to do this summer. Think of it as a bucket list. Get all these things done before the summer is over.
10. Eat at Every Food Truck Park
The number of food truck parks in Houston and the surrounding area has grown significantly over the past several months. Make a trip to each one (Mangum Food Park, Midtown Mobile Cuisine, Houston Food Park and My Food Park HTX) to have breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late-night snack. The Modular, Pi Pizza Truck and Porch Swing Dessertsfrequent Mangum Food Park in northwest Houston; Taco Nuts, Flip 'n Patties and Zeapod Cakery tend to set up shop at My Food Park HTX in the Energy Corridor; and Texas Blizzard likes to hang out at Houston Food Park on St. Emanuel. Check out the newest park, Midtown Mobile Cuisine, which features a rotating lineup of seven food trucks at a time, such as Doughmaker Doughnuts and Detox Truck.
9. Enjoy Ice Cream and Treats at La King's Confectionery
Of course, you should drive to Galveston for the sun, ocean and sand, but you should also make a special trip to the Gulf for ice cream and sodas from La King's Confectionery. Don't stick to just a couple of scoops of ice cream, though. Add some of your favorite frozen treat to any soda from the old-fashioned soda fountain. Sit inside the ice cream parlor, watch the confectioners make taffy and enjoy a stroll along The Strand.
8. Go on Farmers' Market Trips & Picnic Lunches
Head to the Eastside Farmers Market on Saturday (or Sunday) and fill a basket or bag with locally sourced foods to make a picnic lunch. Grab some bread from Angela's Oven or Artisana Bread, then collect duck breast prosciutto from Tejas Heritage Farm and chèvre from Swede Farm for a delightful sandwich. Add some blackberries and plums from Lightsey Farms, or tomatoes and lettuce from Knopp Branch Farm. Throw in some macarons from Maison Burdisso or honey from Bee Wilde for a little something sweet.
7. Order Ribbon Ice in Chinatown
Kaitlin Steinberg wrote recently about the ribbon ice from Nu Cafe in Chinatown. Some call it snow ice, others call it ribbon ice, but either way, it's a Taiwanese dessert that's just as much a treat to eat as it is to watch being prepared. Explore Chinatown's hidden gems, then stop by Nu Cafe or head to SnowBlock Shavery on Rice Boulevard for one of the best ice-cold sweet treats. Rock-hard ice cream blocks are placed in a machine that shaves the block as it is spins, creating tissue-paper-thin ribbons of ice cream. Watch the server catch the ice cream on a plate and create a mountain-high dessert accompanied by fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrups and mochi mango boba.
6. Eat Backstreet Cafe's Seasonal Tomato Menu
Tomatoes are one of the best fruits of the summer, and Backstreet Cafe's seasonal tomato menu is one of the best ways to enjoy them. Chef Hugo Ortega will serve up this menu for brunch, lunch and dinner until the middle of September. Don't miss out on staple tomato dishes like the fried green tomatoes topped with crabmeat rémoulade, or a light and refreshing tomato jalapeño gazpacho. Introduce your palate to bold flavors with the tomato pie served with a small black bean salad, or the blistered cherry tomato tartine with whipped feta cheese, basil and pine nuts.
5. Tour Every Brewery in Houston
Great article as usual gal. "Wow, I don't know who wrote this top 100 recently, but he sure loves his drunk food and and sandwiches!" Ps.. I think you left your jacket ;) -Monica D

The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders fought back from a 2-1 match deficit and a match point in the final set for a 3-2 (25-11, 23-25, 24-26, 25-14, 16-14) victory over Ridgway Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School. ECC won the first set but lost the next two to Ridgway, putting the Lady Elkers ahead entering the fourth set. The Lady Crusaders won the fourth set at 25-14 which set up the winner-take-all set.
JOHNSONBURG – After squandering a two-set lead, the playoff-bound Johnsonburg Ramettes (14-9-1) earned a five-set win (25-23, 25-18, 20-25, 20-25, 15-9) Tuesday night over visiting Kane. Taking the home court for the final time in the regular season, Johnsonburg's senior quintet needed five sets for the win after a furious rally from Kane to tie the match at two sets apiece. After a tip at the net by Kane junior Audrey Perry to give the Lady Wolves a 5-2 lead in the third set, the home team came to life.
According to Elk County Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner, close to 200 tons of material have likely come through the Community Recycling Center over the course of the past year. Not only is the county's recycling program thriving, but the program's budget is also no longer in the dire straits it was a year ago. "We are no longer bleeding red, which is incredible," Titchner said.
The owner of the pitbull found shot last week in the Lake City area said the dog was "family" to him and he shot it because it was attacking his fiancee and would not respond to his commands to stop. Jeremiah Wickett, 35, of Lake City, said he had raised the dog, Ganja, a six-year-old half-pit bull, half-bull mastiff, from a puppy. He said he and his fiancee, Michelle Oertly, 34, also of Lake City, were standing on their front porch on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 18 engaged in a play "wrestling" match when the dog attacked Oertly, latching on to her left leg.

Watershed specialist Kim Bonfardine reported no abnormal findings for the Elk County Monitoring Project during Monday night's Elk County Conservation District meeting. "I haven't found anything abnormal," Bonfardine said. "Each of the streams I have been looking at have different conductivity rates in them, but that's normal. I haven't discovered anything outrageous." Dr. Bruce Dickson of AGES, Inc. [Applied Geology and Environmental Science] is assisting Bonfardine in the project.
COUDERSPORT – A late comeback fell short for Ridgway boys soccer as the Elkers lost 3-2 to the Coudersport Falcons in the first round of the District 9 Class A boys soccer playoffs Monday night at CARP Park. "I don't know why they have to wake up in the second half but they made it interesting," Ridgway coach John Ogden said. "I told them beforehand that they had nothing to lose, so play hard. A sloppy first half and an exciting second half, they're the cardiac kids. They just came up short."
The Elk County Conservation District approved the proposed 2012 budget during Monday night's regular meeting. District officials budgeted $190,897 for the 2012 fiscal year with a three-percent raise for employees. An executive session was held prior to the meeting to discuss the budget. "We went over some numbers and I think we came up with a fairly well-balanced budget," Braun said. Braun said the decision for the three-percent wage increase was based off of what county officials were doing.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (0-9) will forfeit their second game in a row Friday due to injuries and a low number of healthy players on the football team's roster. "We're forfeiting against Curwensville (7-2)," Johnsonburg head varsity football coach Jesse Schreiber confirmed Monday afternoon. "We're not going to be able to play this week because we're still banged up and have some players who haven't been [medically] cleared yet."

Themed Families..
OK so i will state a theme and the next person has to follow it. For instance…
John Jacob and Jessica Jane Jenkins have 7 children-3 boys and 4 girls-all whose first and middle names begin with J.
The next person will then create that family
DH: John Jacob Jenkins
DW: Jessica Jane Jenkins
DS: Joshua James Jenkins
DS: Justin Jared Jenkins
DD: Justine Jade Jenkins
DD: Jennifer June Jenkins
DS: Jeremy Jace Jenkins
DD: Julianna Jean Jenkins
DD: Jocelyn Jada Jenkins
They will then post a new family theme for the next person to create.
Be creative!! You can make someone post a family where all the kids initials spell out a 3 letter word, everyone has the initials BD, everyones name means fire, Everyones name ends in R, everyones name is from a certain movie, everyones name is very old fashioned…whatever you like!!!
All you need to make sure to include in the description is the parents first and last name (middle is not necessary, but can make it more fun), how many children, and how many of each gender, and what your "theme" will be.
I'll start.
Carlos Oscar Sadler and Tessa Alison Sadler have 10 children-4 boys and 3 girls. All the boys have the same initials as Dad (COS) and all the girls have the same initials as mum (TAS).*Britberry* Dani
Love thinking up name combos
Fave combos: ❤ Sawyer Phoenix Castiel?~Logan Elijah Mark~ Elijah Talon Jakob~ Xavier Kye (Kai) Roscoe~Spencer Devon Mitchell / Kairi Peyton Alana~ Marnie Isabeau Grace~ Wynter Amethyst- (Mysti/Thya''Thea'') Nova Madisyn~Cailyn Schuyler ❤
